"I can get me din- ner in tomorrow mornin'l I'll have him send nie a good' order. And as. for tonight," Mre.

"Oh, Mother!" said Mary Kate,'un- able to continue the make-believe any loner, and rising to fall upon her knees at her mother'e feet, push the sewing aside, and link her hands be- hind her mothers neck, "you do like him?" "If you like hint, Baby," the mother said gently. "Oh, I adore you!" the girl said, laughing and crying, She jumped to her feet, ashamed of her own emotion and ran out of the kitchen, Mrs. O'Hara looked appealingly, pathetically, at her son. "The way you ail have me be- devilled," she complained, "I don't know whether you :ike him or not, or whether I want her to marry him, or to have on boot him out of .ne house!" "Poor Ma!" was all" the comfort )dart could give her, as he knocked his pipe free Of ashes, folded the strip of newspaper that contained them into a careful bundle, Deposited it in the garbage can under the sinlc, and kissed his mothers daisy -white forehead, where the rich dark hair sprang away in a smooth youthful wave. He laugh- ed as he spoke, but his mother only looked at him darkly, half -suspecting, perhapa, that these two -clever children of hers were lnanipulating her again. "The whole lot of you's a heart - scald to nae," she said, gloomily, But when her first-born kissed her, she drew his dark cheek hungrily against her own. . The day's work was done now; it was .bedtime. "The way .you taut,, you'd think Cass Keating was too good for 'Mary, Kate," ethe woman 'presently _aid; re- sentfully. .

"Now I don't say Mary Hate couldn't hold him, but I do say that he's going to make money, he'll have an automobile -he'll buy a place out in St. Francis Wood or somewhere-" Mrs. O'Hara stirred the mixture in the pot, salted it, tasted it. "And Mary Kate couldn't keep up with him?" she asked gently. "Well, I only mean that it would put her at a disadvantage, Ma." "Mary Kate O'Hara, is that it?" "Well, Mother, don't get on your high horse! I'm not knocking Molly. I simply say that here's a fellow that's gding to make milligns, like. O'Grady Brothers, or Cunningham Company-" The rough, expert hands that were ntanioulating the blae saucepan trem- bled visibly. Mrs. O'Hara poured hot water into the lower casse-'ole gently, fitted the upper one in plate, pressed down the cover. She at tate pen back on the stove. "I suppose I'm •urprised that you don't stand up for your sister, Kart." Tier voice was level, dead. "Maty Kate understands ,nel" Mar- tin glanced at his sister; their unsmil- ing, faintly significant looks met in a steady. stare. Thei Mary Kate drop - pee her eyes again. The mother sat down at the table, a strong needle, threaded with black thread, and a Childs strap slipper, sud- dehly in her hands. ' "In Mary Kate's place I wouldn't know what to think of you," said Mrs. O'Hara. Martin was stuffing his pipe; he made no reply. "Are the Keatings so well thought of, 'Mart?" the older woman demand- ed, surprisedly, in a forcibly restrain• ed voice. "Cass is," the bob said briefly. "Is he so? It's a pity then, that he wouldn't go after one of those million- aires' slaughters, Mart," Mrs. O'Hara observed drily. "Ile will," Mary Kate said bitterly. "I, never said anything against hits by word or look, all I'd ask is that a daughter of mine would know her own mind, and be said by her mother and brother, that would love her more than a thousand men, however rich they'd bel" Mrs. O'Mara presently said sententiously and a little uneasily. " Thnt's kind of an old -country idea, bother," Mart remin led her, pulling on his pipe. "What's an old -country idea:" "That a girl would let her mother a d brother pick her husband for her." "I don't.know who'd love her more, that'd tlo it for her," the woman said. "You and my father, now. Did you brother pick him?" "He did not. My brother hated the very step of Tom O'Hara in the dust!" Mrs. O'Hara admitted honestly. "But them was very different days, Mart. No, we run away, Papa and I did-" "Well, there's your clue, Mary Kneel" Mart reminded his sister cheerfully, in a silence.

Her own room, which little Pat shared, adjoined the kitchen, but after she had deposited her damp Coat and widow's bonnet there, and gotten into a colorless flannelette nightgown, she padded softly in old felt slippers, to the deserted dining -room, that smelled of apples, dust an: school books, and groped about in the neighborhood of the fireplace for the old-fashioned gas jet, on a hinged iron arm. Tom slept in this room, on an extension couch. Mart had the little slice of hall bed- room upstairs, and Tom usually un- dressed there, and kept his shabby wardeube here and there, in all the household closets-sweate-s in -the skate and rubber closet under the stairs, neck ties on a nail in the bath- room, coat on another nail, in' the downstairs passage, His mother always opened his bed for him; she had forgotten it tonight. She went to the familiar little job with a heavy heart; where was the boy, on this rainy, unfriendly evening? But the instant the little wavering bead of light was shining, her spirit was inundated with sudden peace. Tom had opened his own bed; his damp clothing was scattered all over the floor, his dark head deep in the sod- den billow. His mother sank thankfully upon her knees en the littered floor beside the couch, and put her arms about hint and without waking he snuggled close t her, grunted andsighed happily, in affectionate content. She kissed the thick dark waves. of his hair -her good, dear, innocent boy that had been asleep in here all the time she had been so worrying about him. "Ah, Tom you're such a darling," "Gee, I adore you, Mother." "Don't wake up dear," But she couldn't let him alone., "Where were you, dear?" "We were at the Alhambra ---right behind you. But I got sleepy-" He had sunk fathoms deep into de- licious slumber again. His final, "Gee, I love you-" died off into inarticulate murmuring. Mrs. O'Hara began her evening prayers, her lips against the thihk dark hair that smelled of rain and youth and Martin's jealously cherish- ed "stile-tite. Meanwhile Martin had slipped into Mary Kate's room and with the ex- quisite privilege of brotherhood was sitting on the edge of her bed in the dark, her warm, slim, young hands tight in his, her breathless rush of ecstatic confidences coming to him in eager whispers. "Oh, yes, Mart. Casa and l have been• --•sort of -working up to it, since Christmas.

"During the heatwave the whole world sweated freely. Never before, perhaps, has perspiration been so pro- fuse and so continuous, because the humidity of the air served to stimul- ate the sweat -glands to their greatest activity." writes the Medical Corres- apondent.of the Times Trade anti En- gineering Supplement, "Tire result was that most of us got rid of a great Ileal of poison fix= our systems, 1n 'numerous cases at- tacks of rheumatism, lumbago, scia- tica, and other aches and pains were cut short to the surprise and delight of the sufferers. "The hint should be worth taking. Except during heat -waves most of us sweat very little in the ordinary course rot our occupations, It is at least possible that if we sweated more we should enjoy better health. "A daily sweat may be far more effective than a deity apple in keeping the doctor away." HOW LONG b0 PARROTS LIVE? It is supposed that. some parrots live Considerably more than a cen- tury.

Hunt • Orchard hunting isn"my job, but' whet! b o Y w ay_ f a change, I started en: a five months' tour 'of prospecting 'and exploring among ,Borneo's hilts and .valleys, rivers, and jungles, I lis- covered• about the most thrilling sport in the' 'world: the sport of python hunting as indulged 'in by a tribe called the Dusuns. To the Dusuns python flesh, ie a delicious 'dainty. They ,are 'gieat py- thon, eaters, It astonished -me to see how eagerly they will penetrate. deep into these darkened, dank, •snaice- infested forests. The Dusan python -hunting was a case`of putting the shoe on the other foot. I have seen a great many snakes of all varieties in my time,,and my chief recollection is the agility dis- played by man in leaping out of their way. A hissing serpent, celled to strike, is one of the ugliest things -- and the cold touch of its live, slither- ing scales, is .a sensation to make your scalp creep; , .. But my Dusuns up a python tree were as sporty and unconcerned as is. American on a Scot- tish grouse -moor, Armed only with his beloved par- ang, the Dusan wades into the old Py- thon so heartily that the tables are completely turned and it's the 'tSig snake that urgently wants to get away, hissing like a locomotive, his ugly, yellow jaws agape. I embarked for a trip up the Python River with a .fleet of six dugouts end twelve 'Dusun bearers; who were evi- gently looking forward gleefully to a big bag of toothsome python. We had passed'the last of the clear- ings when we camped for the night, and on the following' day :he jungle of the real python -country swallowed us. It was here that we glided into the region of perpetual twilight. Our laden dug -outs entered a tortuous, silent tunnel whose Ieaning walls and low -hanging roof were the interlockee. boughs and -branches and leaves and tendrils of trees that crowded either' bank; only the slenderest darts of sunshine shot slantwise through the interstices. The little Dusun boatmen quivered with excitment, paddling stealthily with hardly a ripple on the surface of the water. They were watching the overhanging branches and still fol- iage, heads flung back, their dilated eyes ringed with white. All day they had talked snake, and I believe those python -eaters dream snake all night, And now the fun was to begin. Naturally my „eyes were uneasily ranging among the thick, overhanging foliage, which seemed much too life- less to be true. I could see nothing but scarred, yellowish bark and green leaves. Nature has so cunningly canl- ouflaged the pythons akin that it seems to assimilate its Ieafy surroundings - to vision less acute than the roving eyes of the smite -hunters. The dug -out stopped. The Dustin in the stern shipped his• paddle, but he had never taken his eyes off the branches overhead. He flung up an arm, pointing, "Ulal" he yelled. "Ula!" Ula! Snake/ ' The boatman grabbed a low branch and swung himself up into the tree. Getting astride of a gnarled branch, he began to work his way outwards towards the middle of the stream, drawing his parang. There was an instant upheaval in the densely.c!ustered leaves and twin- ing tendrils. Terrifically, the foliage woke to life, and a ten foot python's long, flat head reared up, the big yel- low mouth agape, hissing, the mighty coils slithering- and writhing. The little Dustin 'lashed out with his parting, three blows in less than a second of time. I never saw a cat strike quicker. And every blow went straight to the mark -thud! thud! thud! The big snake's head jerked side- ways, oddly like a boxer who had been socked on the jaw, and the full length of his sinuous coils went mad. De- spite his fearsome appearance and great size, it was clear that he didn't ike what was coming to hint. In the anguage of the rem., the Dusun's whirlwind attack had got him groggy. That flailing parang was all over hint -thud! thud! thud! Leaves and bark President Elect C. W. N. A.

I5 nsy dug -outs down belowwe were. yelling with .excitement, The python peered at us wickedly, and just in that ,fredeem of a aeeond he stopped en - other whizzing clout on the hoed and visibly wilted, so that the follow-up missed him and whinged against a tough bough with an ugly sound that told us how hard our friend was hit- ting. That seemed to . decide the first round, for the snake evidently thought the tree was altogether too':hot for hits. He uncoiled himself and drop. ped into the .water. Then :he real fun started, Six ,tardy Dusuns went after him, and grabbed hire. in ;six places at once with their bare arms aud'hands. The strength of an eneaged python is prodigious. Though held tenacioue- ly by six strong men, his convulsive struggles dragged then in all direc- tions. But the Dusuns bung on grimly. Strong, as he was -and his body was as thick as a m::ns leg, his captors were stronger. Warily they prevented him from hitching on to anything with his tail, and they dragged his head over the thwart of one of the dug -outs where another Dusun was waiting for him with his parang poised. Thud? Thud! Thud! Using the dug -out as a kind of butchering -block the Dusun bludgeon- ed the giant snake to death. They hammered its head into pulp. When. its huge, limp length was dragged into the boat, there wasn't a tremor from tip to tail. Inert and coiled up, stow- ed away like an old rope's enol, the hunters left him. Their blood was up. Laughing and jabbering excitedly, craning their necks and gazing up into the trees, they prepared for another attack. Their shrill yells in the fight that had just ended, the slur:y of the wafer and the whangin; and thuddieg of the pr,rangs, had raised the alarm among tee tree -dwelling python families. Now we could see them plainly enough, the ripple of their coils along the branches, and the quick, menacing movement of their darting heads, When our sport was over, we took a snapshot of eight beautiful skins -- all much longer than the height of a very tall man -hanging out to dry on the thatch of my portable shack. Gazing at then reflectively, it seemed to me that I had been privileged to witness the most exciting and purely sporting hunt in -•the world. It had been a reaily stirring experience, even to a hard-bitten hunter like myself. It appealed to my sporting instincts ro strongly because the Dusuns attacked their formiclable quarry in its own difficult strongholds, and then disdain- ed to hack with the parang's cutting edge, using their weapon only as tt bludgeon and actually tackling the snakes with their bare. hands, The Dpeuns had attacked nine py- thons during the clay's hunting. Only one managed to get away, an enor- mous reptile over twelve feet in length. The fight in the water was nothing short of spectacular -six intrepid Du - suns and one huge snake. The hunt- ers did not let go, either, until they were all actually thrown. It was like an aquatic rodeo wit;• a buck -jump- ing twelve -foot python hurling his six assailants at one terrific throw. They went down, sputtering, a windmill of legs and arms. But they came up, still sputtering, but laughing, thor- oughly enjoying thetttselves-and the spectacle of the huge python making his way to shore like a torpedo. Every night the Dusuns had tt ban- quet of python flesh. The flesh has a Meting, fishy smell. These natives cut it up, rather like one slices a banana, and slowly boil it in a hollow bamboo filled with water, -F.. D. Burdett in "Pearson's Magazine."

The Sun, Winter Cl thing Affects "Talkies" Actors and Actresses Have to "Speak -up" Due to Absorb- ing Qualities of Winter Garb Audiences in a theatre or motion picture house absorb more sound in winter than in summer; due to the increase in clothing in the colder sea. son, For this reason actresses and actors have to speak louder to winter audiences and the loud -speaking talk- ing picture equipment has to be tuned i.p to higher volume in winter to make the spoken souads clearly audible throughout the building. . According to V. L. Christler, of the sound section of the United States Bureau of Stand- ards, the quality of clothing worn by an audience is a large factor in deter- mining the length of time required for sounds in a theatre to decay and fall to zero. The following information was fur- nished by Mr Christler: The sound section of the Bureau of Standards has for ,ome time been carrying on experiments with sound. reverberation and acoustical mater- ials. These experiments have been conducted in a specially constructed building housing a large empty room having no sound absorpti., t and no acoustical pronerties. A loud speaker is placed in the cnvnty room and the length of time require1 for the sound to decay after the ..tierce has been shut oto is measured. These experimerts are carried on first in an empty room and then are repeated with various types of ma- terials having acoustic properties plated along the walls and ceiling. in this way practically every type tit c.eoustical material now made has been tested with the co-operation of the ntanufactcrers. Amon,: the most common substances from which acousticse materials are made are plaster and hair belt, sugar cane fibre, pumice and rock wool, the letter being the result of molten rocik Lown through exceedingly fine jets. Some of the materials were found to have higher coefficients of sound ab- sorption than other's. In general those of higher coefficients seem to be more costly. A greater amount of acoustical ma- terial is ordinarily used in motion pic- ture ho .nes than in theatre due to the fact that the human voice is 'weak compared to the stentorian tones of which the talking motion iieture 13 capable. The louder the tones the mere is the effect of reverberation and therefore the automatic voices being so much stronger require more cbamp- ing material in the picture houses. In theatres and picture houses the materials are usually placed on the walls and ceilings with drapes or cur- tains used over the doors and en- trances. In malty theatres only a little acoustic material is 'necessary, due to the banks of soft velvet covered spring seats that absorb sound to a high de- gree.
